IT'S the news so many of us have been waiting for - but, it could still be a while before you get your hands on one. 

McDonald's is reopening drive thrus across Scotland today with 19 branches in the likes of Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Perth serving food. 

Helensburgh locals will have to wait, however, as the nearest restaurant in Dumbarton is not on the list. 

Even when the branch does reopen - with all stores to serve food by Thursday - lockdown rules against travelling more than five miles for anything other than an essential journey mean you won't be lovin' it any time soon.

What can I order? 

The fast food chain is currently operating with a limited menu due to having less staff in kitchen areas at one time.

This still includes fan favourites such as Big Macs and McNuggets - but sadly there are no breakfast options.

Again, this is down to fewer staff and also restaurants operating under reduced hours of 11am until 10pm.

McDonald's has also introduced a spending limit of £25 on Uber Eats and at drive-thrus to try and control the high number of orders.

This spending limit doesn't include the delivery fee when ordering from Uber Eats.

Dining areas will remain closed to the public, so you can't sit inside and eat.

McDonald's has also suspended its click and collect service via the My McDonald's app.
